LEVEL AND SQUARE FLOOR FRAME
Before attaching floor decking, it is important to level and square the floor frame.
A level and square floor frame is required to correctly construct your shed.
BEGIN
¸1

Use level and check the frame is level before applying floor panels.
Check for frame squareness by measuring diagonally across corners. If the
measurements are the same, the frame is square. The diagonal measurement
will be approximately 173-1/16" (439,6 cm).
When the frame is level and square secure one side of frame to the 4x4 runners
using one fastener at ends of each runner. Move to the opposite end of the frame.
Secure the frame to 4x4 runners with one fastener at ends of each runner making
sure the frame remains square (Fig. A).
Once the floor frame is level and square fasten the frame to at each point the frame
contacts the 4x4 runners .
See page 7 for the preferred floor leveling method.
